So the New Year holidays have died down, and we continue the topic of a review of models from Burda magazines and are already actively discussing the full announcement of the February issue.
The new Burda issue, which goes on sale on January 24, is replete with basic patterns: there is also a sheath dress that is useful with a strict dress code, a pencil skirt, and a “right” shirt, and for lovers of comfortable clothes with a sports note, the magazine offered a wonderful pattern of hoodies.
Any of the patterns proposed by the magazine can also serve as an excellent basis for modeling and implementing your own creative ideas.
A short review will help you take a fresh look at the proposed models and take into account some of their stylistic nuances, so that the new things will please you fully.
Classic trench coat
- Best-seller

A beautiful pattern for use without changes, and as the basis for modeling. Ideal for beginners.
Idea:
a simple model will look good from a fabric with a print or in a combination of leather like Balenciaga. Also, according to the pattern, you can sew a trench dress, but in this case you should take a pattern one size smaller.
Dress shirt
- Special offer

- 3
- 4
Overall a great basic shirt dress. With the right choice of fabric, you can wear it like a summer coat. It will be very fashionable with trousers
Nuance:
A similar assembly at the waist is found in models in the style of boho like Zimmermann, for every day it is better to sew without a drawstring and fit with a belt or belt.
Idea:
Sew a combination of companion fabrics.
Sports jacket
- Special offer
- 1
- 2
- 3
- 4
A good base for a parka or windbreaker, in the magazine version attracts with color, but a similar length in combination with a drawstring at the waist will look strange on any figure
Nuance:
the location of the drawstring on the sleeves is also doubtful. It’s better to move it to the edge or get rid of it altogether.
Idea:
in the shortened version, it is better to remove the drawstring at the waist and get a variation of Max Mara Weekend parka, with a length from the middle of the thigh and below it is appropriate.
Based on the pattern, you can simulate a great option in the avant-garde style.
Flared skirt

A wonderful pattern of a basic skirt will be good in any length from mini to midi.
Idea:
A simple cut can be varied with a print or a combination of fabrics.
Knitted Wrap Dress

- 4
Another variation on the theme of dresses with a smell. Actual style, what can you do? You can play with the shape of the bottom, sleeve length and fabric choice and get different dresses for different seasons and situations.
Idea:
in the cold season you can wear a dress on a turtleneck - both warm and fashionable.
Vest
- Special offer

The February issue abounds with basic models. This pattern is no exception. It will be good in any variation in the length of the hem and sleeve.
Nuance:
be careful with a floral print, not just decorate the hostess and look actual, give preference to animalistic, abstract patterns or always up-to-date geometry (cell, strip).
Idea:
Based on this pattern, you can sew a breathtaking Altuzzara dress, just lengthen it and add an asymmetric zipper.
Two-tone pullover
- Special offer
- 1
- 2
- 3
- 4
A simple pattern with a complex character. Successfully presented in the magazine in a sports version, but without reference to the sport on this pattern it will be difficult to sew the actual thing.
Idea:
lengthen to a la Marni dress.
Fitted Pullover
Master Class- Special offer
- 1

- 3
- 4
And again the actual cut! Something between a hoodie and a sweatshirt, but cozy in any case. Can be worn with a belt, replaced with a belt or not fitted at all.
Idea:
lengthen the pattern and get a dress with a sports note.
V-neck dress
- Special offer
- 1
- 2
- 3
- 4
If the magazine option is not impressed, you should take another fabric and add a little character.
Nuance:
V-neckline visually lengthens the neck. A small print in flowers or peas (as in a magazine) without additional explicit reference to boho style in the form of a bag, shoes or wrapping accessories can forgive or add age.
Pants 7/8
- Special offer
- 1
- 2
- 3
- 4
Simple basic trousers. If your cheekbones are reduced from boredom, choose an interesting print or texture.
Idea:
The leg width is ideal for socks, skirts, bermudas and dresses. A shirt dress from the same room will be a great companion.
Short shorts

A mix of femininity, nobility and military - all as Melania Tramp loves. If we add shoulder pads, we get a sharp-fashioned extended shoulder girdle.
Nuance:
such a cut will emphasize narrow hips and broad shoulders, emphasize graceful wrists.
Blouse and skirt
